Our new Taurasi was born from a journey, which began sopra 2019 with the consultant oenologist Luca D’Attoma supported by our resident oenologist Francesco Moriano, which first led to the debut of Mattoda’, and then saw sopra Fondersi a natural evolution of the project. A Rifornimento whose 100% of the mass macerates sopra cocciopesto amphorae for about a month and which matures for 5 years, of which 1 sopra cocciopesto, 3 sopra large barrels and 1 sopra the bottle. A complex, profound, emotional wine.”
